Belle Isle Richmond Anniversary: Nicole & Mike

belle isle portraits richmond virginia bride and groom portrait on the river rocks

richmond_ wedding_belle_isle_Jessica_ryan_photography_0048A portrait session at Belle Isle of my past bride & groom was worth the drive! I set out to do something different, and really step out of my comfort zone, trying new approaches to my photography that day. I think you should always be working on your craft and improving your work, Belle Isle was the perfect place to do this. Not to mention, Nicole and Mike were the perfect couple to photograph for this and it was easy to convince them to come hangout with me and wear their wedding attire again! I played with shadows & the bright sunlight. I worked with different ways of posing Nicole & Mike. I love the results and I love seeing my photography work continuing to evolve. Thank you to Becky at Roost Flowers for creating a gorgeous bouquet for our photography portraits!
